I usually don't care about the console wars but this doesn't make sense. How is xbox still ahead of ps3 in sales? On amaozn i saw this entire week that PS3 was in the top 5 sellers for video games. Xbox was not even in the top 50. Can someone explain how NPD works. I know they are only in the U.S. but what else?

The PS3 (and Wii) has been in very short supply in my area since the end of December and throughout a good portion of the US.At BB/Gamestop/Target/Walmart when they do get some in they are sold immediately. The 360 has not had any shortages that I can remember.

Amazon also does not make up nearly the % of total sales as the stores listed above.

PS3 is ahead of xbox in world wide sales right? or is there no way to tell

Doesn't matter though as the PS3 is outselling the 360 worldwide.

I keep asking myself the same thing. It's strange that so many Americans still choose the Xbox.

First X10, then the nice NPD surprise. This day was a good day to be an Xbox fan.

No baby seal pics yet?

i mean as in worldwides sales per month now. not overall lifetime sales.

really?
how is Sade (best singer ever) at number one on Amazon? when on Billboard Lady Antebellum is number one!!!!

where can i see that?

look, the PS3 consistently sells 87% of the 360's HW week by week WW. That will probably be 97% within a couple of months if not equal
